Changes Lyrics

Artist: Harry Chapin
Album: Short Stories

I was cramped into a coffee house pewtwo dollar coke in my handlistening to the music runthrough and out of a drowning man.Ten years ago I first heard him singingto a screaming crazy crowdnow there's thirteen loyal peopletrying to sound that loud.And I wonder as I watch him nowwhy his songs don't turn me on.He got me into musicwhere has the fragile magic gone?And all the changeskeep on changingand the good old daysthey say they're gone.Only wise menand some new born foolssay they know what's going on.But I sometimes think the difference isjust in how I think and seeand the only changes going onare going on in me.There was you and Fifth avenuebefore there were liesand all my hot blood schemesand teenage dreamsflashed before my eyes.I did not think I had a chanceyou had to prove me wrongit took a year and a halfof tears and laughsbefore you moved along.And now these long years laterwhen I see you once againI wonder what you saw in mewhen you loved me way back then.There I was in you Air ForceUncle Sam, you owned my brain.I tried to see myself as a sex mad saviorsailing on a silver plane.I started out to do my dutyended up just doing time.What is it about youmy mother of a countrythat makes so many change our minds.You had me on your honor rollfor your dream I would dienow I would not even cross the streetto help you live a lie.
